Life-long resident, who is passionate about life in Baldwin County!

By this time she was a mother of twin boys and longed for a career that afforded her the ability to make a good living without having to sacrifice her family time. Starr executed her first sales contract after just two weeks in the business and her career has thrived ever since!
